That was that. Like the dead gorillas, the Hoyts were hope- lessly entangled in a mesh. Ad- mittedly, at the time Mtoto (Swahili for "child") seemed to become just another pet among varIOUS pets that the Hoyts had accumulated-a young leopard, a chimpanzee, an African ea- gle, five or six monkeys, and a pair of vulturine guinea fowl-but from the start she was not treated quite like the others. They lived in a "menagerie" compound at camp, whereas Toto slept in Mrs. Hoyt's tent. Her adopted mother hastily got busy cutting up her husband's flannel shirts and making them into bellybands like those worn by Argentine infants. Toto wore bel- lybands for months, and whether be- cause of this or in spite of it she sur- vived the rest of the trip, though two gorilla babies subsequently acquired by the Hoyts on the safari did not. Back in Europe, the Hoyts and Toto roosted briefly in Paris in a hotel on the Rue de Rivoli with Mrs. Hoyt's mother, her two Pomeranians, Mrs. Hoyt's personal maid, and Toto's per- sonal attendant, Abdullah, who had come with her from Africa. Toto's every wish was granted, Mrs. Hoyt recorded, and she grew spoiled. "Have you ever seen a sickly child whose parents spent all the years of his early life fighting for his existence, who showed the signs of discipline which mark the training of a normal child?" Mrs. Hoyt wrote. This referred to many bouts with dysentery and one really serious attack of pneumonia suf- fered by Toto, during which the best pediatricians in Paris had interesting experiences treating her. She was un- der an oxygen tent for a while. Irrita- tion, anger, and the like shown by the people around her "tended to upset the delicate balance" of "the baby's" nerves, Mrs. Hoyt wrote, so emotional outbursts were avoided as much as pos- sible. After the pneumonia, Mrs. Hoyt took "the baby" to the French sea- shore for convalescence, and the book contains a photograph of the two on the beach-Mrs. Hoyt very fetching in a big hat and a flowing white dress, and Toto very small, black, and ap- pealing in her arms. Toto may have been wearing jewelry at the time, thoug h one cannot see it. She was fond of bracelets and necklaces; a later pic- ture, taken when she was much bigger and very much fatter, shows her with a favorite bracelet on her hairy arm.
